Here for instance:
https://trillian.chruetertee.ch/ports/browser/trunk/graphics/libGL
The whole repo is found here:
https://trillian.chruetertee.ch/ports/browser/trunk?order=name
Have a look at the wiki here http://wiki.freebsd.org/Xorg before playing
with it though.  To get the new MESA you need the KMS patch,
instructions here http://wiki.freebsd.org/Intel_GPU as well as a
resonably recent intel graphics card (Radeon might work, but that is
unlikely.)
Regards!
